Loving this Stitch? Make a Matching Hat and Mittens!

I always receive comments asking what my pieces look like worn, so I have been trying to model my pieces for you! I hope this helps to see what the patterns look like in use. As you can see from my tears in the photo below, I have super light sensitive eyes - so taking photos out in daylight is always a trick for me! But anything for you, my dear reader ;)

I hope you enjoy the Wintermint Ear Warmer today! It’s a fabulous scrap project and I pretty much want one in all the colors. I hope you like the texture of this piece because I LOVE it and I will be using this again in future patterns for sure.
